Enlil

Enlil was the ancient Mesopotamian god of wind, air, earth, and storms and the chief deity of the Sumerian pantheon; he was later worshipped by the Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and Hurrians. In the Sumerian creation myth, he separated heaven from earth to make the world habitable for humans. However, he destroyed all of humanity in a flood because they were "too noisy", showing his arbitrary and capricious nature. During the 2300s BC, the rise of Nippur led to Enlil growing in popularity, but the Elamites' sack of Nippur in 1230 BC led to the decline of his cult, and he was soon supplanted by the Babylonian god Marduk.
